The ACC tied the all-time record with 10 teams placed in the tournament while those 10 teams set a conference record. The SEC had 7 teams in the field with all 7 teams hosting a regional, which is also a record.
The first timers for 2016 include Alabama State, Fairfield, St. Mary’s (CA), and Utah Valley. There will be no regionals in the Mountain or Pacific time zones as the southeast corridor dominated with the regional hosting sites.
